 Woke & Virtue SignallingBoth being woke and virtue signalling are terms that the political Right and other trolls use to attack issues that threaten their unjust and evil power. Evil forces are trying to bring into disrepute both enlightened ways of being and virtuous living. They want you to be not virtuous and not woke so they can continue their power and money hungry ways and their evil ecocide. It's a classic case of: "Drag everyone down to your level. Keep the waters as muddy as possible. That way no one can see your own shit." (John Crace, The Guardian, posted and accessed 30 March 2022)
Jesus Christ was an amazing example of someone both virtuous and woke. If he were alive today, for his efforts he would be being trolled, hated on, cancelled, perhaps even executed (again). Stop the deflection and deception of plutocracy and oligarchy!!  Wokedom/Wokery = Wisdom/Enlightenment I am using the definition of woke as being sensitive to issues of social justice like inequality and racism. Although woke has its origins in African-American political consciousness, I see very much a link to the word awakened. That is, awakened in the terms of being wise and spiritually enlightened. Being awakened is a massive aim of spiritual discipline throughout history. Buddhas are literally woke, as Buddha means ‘awakened one’! Buddhas are awake to the right way of living, just as many woke people today are awake to causes that will help humanity (e.g. eco-activism, veganism, dismantling white supremacist capitalist patriarchy). In Christianity, Jesus and Saints are shown with golden halos because they have awakened to the Light of God and seek justice and equality. Do stay connected to this Light, you need to be switched on!  Virtue Signalling Virtue is so needed on Earth now. So many politicians, like Trump, Boris Johnson and Putin are non-stop liars. And darker still are oligarchs like Rupert Murdoch. Virtue is closely aligned with the High Ideal and is absolutely essential for the wellbeing of humanity. What is not essential is having to boast about it, signal it, so-called humblebrag: "Disciples
must find the right balance between pride and excessive humility. They
should not be completely self-effaced on the pretext of humility, or
they will end up becoming idiotic and stupid. But neither should they
be overly conceited on the pretext that they are following a spiritual
teaching, for then they will become simply ridiculous.
It is most difficult to strike the right balance. Even in the initiatic schools of the past, very few disciples were able to avoid giving way to pride or excessive humility – which is often nothing but pride in disguise! So be careful not to make the same mistakes. You must know how to be dressed like a king while remaining a humble servant." (O.M. Aïvanhov) "Proud
people imagine they are great, and always see themselves rising above
others. But in reality, they themselves are not growing, a tumour is
developing inside of them. To inflate themselves is not the same as
growing. A person's true growth causes rays, sparks, and vibrations
beneficial to everyone to spring forth from them, and only humility
fosters this growth. One of life’s great secrets thus lies in
this so rarely understood and appreciated virtue: humility – the
awareness that there exists a superior world and the will to be in
harmony with the entities that inhabit it: the angels, archangels, and
so on, up to God. This is why it can be said that humility is a form of
intelligence. By casting their gaze upwards, a humble person discovers
the infinity of heaven and feels drawn to it, absorbed by it. By simply
changing the direction of their gaze, they enter into immensity." (O.M.
Aïvanhov)
Just do good, be virtuous. It is God’s Way.  Perhaps this shows how virtue can be displayed, subtly like the stars?
Conclusion Be awake to Divine ways by being switched on to luminous and compassionate lifestyles, like Solar Culture and the Culture of Love. Be virtuous without having to show off about it. Quietly give the glory to God. It is all a lifelong task...  Woke Virtue = Do virtue and inwardly say "Glory be to God!"
